Miranda Kerr’s nude cover of Harper’s Bazaar Australia was recently pulled from supermarkets in Australia and deemed “inappropriate.”

Justin Kurzel’s Macbeth—starring Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard—opens on a shot of a dead child’s face and only gets darker from there. While Shakespeare’s play about the Scottish thane and his wife who murder their way into power has never been a joyous romp, there’s something staggeringly bleak about this latest film adaptation.

At a Friday press conference, Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver threatened to sue the Democratic National Committee for withholding voter data from their campaign.

Turing Pharmaceuticals has announced that Martin Shkreli, its v. unpopular CEO, is resigning. Shkreli was arrested yesterday on unrelated fraud charges, which allege he engaged in improper self-enrichment, using a previous company as his personal checkbook to pay off other debts. You can’t do that.

Oh my god, Twin Peaks is truly in the works , and this new production trailer from its future home Showtime gives us a little (very little) teaser peek into what will eventually, hopefully, be Twin Peaks but scarier, more vulgar, and more explicit thanks to the god-given invention that is cable tee vee, baby!

Searching “feminism” on the H&M website yields a single result, a white jersey crop top with black lining that reads “Feminism: the radical notion that women are people.” H&M, the second largest clothing retailer in the world, suggests we style the piece (which costs less than $20) with biker trousers, suede sandals, and a fringed cardigan. For an outfit that showcases the word “radical,” the notion put forth here is relatively thin: that this feminist-branded H&M shirt is a statement worth making. Читать дальше...

As a sort of advent calendar of kitsch, Pictorial will be counting down the final twelve days before Christmas by featuring some holiday presents of days gone by.

Paul McCartney, Jon Bon Jovi, Sheryl Crow, Fergie, Colbie Caillat, Natasha Bedingfield, Sean Paul, Leona Lewis, Johnny Rzeznik, Krewella, Angelique Kidjo, Nicole Scherzinger, Kelsea Ballerini, Christina Grimmmie, Victoria Justice, and Q’orianka Kilcher are not going to let global warming win.

For months, the French government has been moving to ban runway models who are unhealthily thin from the runway and ad campaigns, citing not just the toll on the models themselves but the influence they may have on young women . On Thursday, the legislation passed, and now all models will be required to provide medical proof of their health, including their Body Mass Index, reports WWD. The fine for agencies and fashion companies who do not comply with the law is 75,000 Euros (about $82,000).

Star Wars zips and zaps into theaters this weekend, and I was lucky enough to see it last night with a hugely excited crowd who screamed, laughed, and applauded at all the right moments. It was a wonderful theatrical experience for a truly wonderful movie—one worthy of its years-long hype and the Star Wars name itself. And though I don’t want to spoil any of the plot for you or reveal some of its many surprises, I do want to talk about one thing: BB-8.

Will, Kate & company have released a family photo alongside season’s greetings to the world. Prince George still looks like an Edwardian ghost child, while his little sister resembles some adorable animated bug from Studio Ghibli. Okay, okay—it’s cute.

If you can trust the internet to reliably do anything, you can trust it to tell you that some bullshit is inspiring when some bullshit generally is not. A quick survey of certain prominent websites’ use of the word proves very inauspicious: one offender, for example, labels the following as inspirational—body positive videos, assorted moments, short hairdos, “fall quotes” (? ), and literary tattoos.

On Thursday, President Obama lived his best life and joined British survivalist Bear Grylls on Running Wild in the Alaskan wilderness to hike and munch on fish half-eaten by an actual bear. Because what’s the point of being president if you don’t do ridiculous shit?

On Thursday it was reported that a “Kardashian-obsessed fan” (who wasn’t me or Jezebel’s Managing Editor Kate Dries) broke into Kris Jenner’s home by posing as a crew member hired to install her Christmas decorations. Once he was through the gate, he got out of his car, walked right in the house, and straight into Kris’s office, where she presumably used witchcraft to subdue him before calling 911.

Friday morning, bursting vacuum cleaner bag Donald Trump appeared on Morning Joe to accept Russian President Vladimir Putin’s endorsement and, in turn, to subtly endorse the murder of anyone who disagreed with him.

If you’ve ever thought to yourself, “Hmm, I wonder Kevin McCallister from Home Alone would have been like as an adult?”, a new web series, which stars Macaulay Culkin himself, may give you an idea. Spoiler alert: he’s kind of deranged. In the debut episode of :DRYVRS, Culkin plays the driver of a rideshare company similar to Über, with a whole lot of unresolved baggage from the time he was eight years old and his entire family went on vacation without him.
